What prompted Shahid Kapoor to sign ‘Padmavati’?

A daily has reported that Shahid Kapoor signed on for Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s ‘Padmavati’ only after seeking the blessings of his guru Baba Gurinder Singh. Singh is the spiritual leader of the Radha Soami Satsang Beas sect. The paper quoted a source, who said, “Shahid and Mira follow the Baba’s advice in all things. They even went to Beas to ask him if the name they chose (Misha) for their child was the right one. In fact, Shasha signed on for Padmavati only after his guru said yes.”
